Our Little Pea

We cannot say how grateful we are for the hospitality, generosity and kindness we received from the staff and owner John. Our stay was simply exceptional. I don't mean everything was perfect because that simply isn't realistic. This is Cambodia and it has its special quirks just like any other country, which just adds to its charm and the experience of travel.
The hotel is small but charming, as are the staff. The food was great and so were the drinks, although the wine pouring seemed a little under the level at times. The only criticisms I have would be more spots to hang towels and a second pillow option (1 firm, 1 soft) would be great.
The staff and owner John were just so helpful, before arriving we had an unfortunate incident where we left our passports in the safe of our previous hotel, some 5 hours drive away. We asked for the staffs help in communicating with the other hotel, they happily arranged everything. The owner John said not to worry, we would have our passports back in time for our next flight, he would make sure of it. He was true to his word, it was all arranged, the passports were on the next bus from Phnom Pen to Siam Reap and his staff would collect them from the bus depot for us. All of this was done without fuss and to our surprise at no charge...We cannot say how grateful we are for the hospitality, generosity and kindness we received from the staff and owner John.

The generosity simply continued, John and his team were amazing and it was sad to leave our new "home" because that's exactly how we felt there. John arranged our transport to the airport and to once again to our surprise he even paid for it. Our stay was such a heart-warming experience and we are very very happy to recommend our little Butterfly Pea to the world.

Good Morning Davina,

Thank you so much for staying with us at the Butterfly Pea we enjoyed hosting you and it was our pleasure to make sure your stay was enjoyable. Thank you for the constructive feedback as we will be purchasing additional pillows today so we can offer options and we will be adding towel hooks. (The pour is also being improved and for consistency as I, like you, believe in a good pour.) We look forward to seeing you on your next adventure to Siem Reap and would love for you to stay at the Pea. Safe Travels always and thank you again!

Best,John and the entire team at the Butterfly Pea

We stumbled across this lovely hotel when out walking. We were looking for a nice place for a cool drink and the hotel took our eye. We met the new owner who made us feel very welcome. He impressed us as being very caring and generous to the staff, running English classes. We sat in the bar and dining area and enjoyed a nice, well priced lunch. The hotel is well located to the downtown area and looks like a great place to stay.

This hotel was the highlight of our 3 week SE Asia trip. The owner and stuff were so friendly and helpful. The hotel itself is very clean, new, and in a great location. The owner and staff helped us find a tour guide at the very last minute. I recommend the Butterfly Pea to anyone visiting Seam Reap. Thank you for a lovely stay!

It's my second time staying at this hotel. Name and owner change but not their high quality of services and facilities. This made my stay in Siem Reap just perfect and comfortable again. Staffs and owners are cool and helpful. Food is good, room is big, clean and comfortable - too many cable TV channels. Free airport pick up with tuk tuk is a kind of interesting experience. Tour and transport are promptly arranged just as my request.Thanks to the staffs and owner who have made my short visit for Angkor Intl Half Marathon 2017 so comfy.

Our stay at The Butterfly Pea couldn't have been more perfect on our first visit to Cambodia. From helping to book our flight and greeting us at the airport - to arranging our daily sightseeing tours - Kelly, John and the rest of the staff were wonderful hosts. The newly remodeled hotel is gorgeous! The pool was so refreshing after our daily tours, as were the cocktails! And the made-to-order breakfasts were fresh and delicious. We can't wait to go back!

After a tiresome two days of work in Poi Pet I needed a little rest and relief.

Within minutes glancing online at hotel options, The Butterfly Pea was the obvious choice. As soon as I arrived I could tell the place was built with care and detailed consideration. It didn't take long for the hotel to check all my quality boxes.

The location was perfect, rooms were immaculate, and the bathroom in particular was beautifully constructed with wood paneling and stone aesthetics. The lobby, restaurant, and pool all look out at Siem Reap's river, adding a sense of isolation and calm. Even more, the staff were accommodating and friendly and the food was great.

The owner of the restaurant, John, welcomed us and immediately made us feel at home. He was readily available if we needed anything, and he genuinely wanted to help make our trip more enjoyable.

Definitely worth five stars. You must visit this new place if you're in the area. It's a beautiful place.
